More migrants than yesterday's pretty paltry supply making it much more enjoyable in comparison with 5 Lesser 'throat, 5 Swallow, 3 Reed Warbler, 2 Chiffchaff, 2 Garden Warbler, 2 Wheatear, 2 Whitethroat, Blackcap, Hobby, Nightingale, Tree Pipit, Whinchat, Willow Warbler plus the previous day's White Wag still with us. A flock of 12 Arctic Tern went north with a single Curlew south. 2 Egyptian Geese joined the Shelduck on the reserve early on for a jolly.
First recorded in the UK in 2009 & in Suffolk ten years later,
Musotima nititidalis has been accidentally imported from the Antipodes, quite probably by horticulturists. With increasing numbers over the last five years it is thought to be established at Landguard & will be coming to your moth trap soon, if it hasn't already done so.
Ringing: 1 Blackcap, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Garden Warbler, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Nightingale.
